Such a beautiful nature connection well-being session with my students this week, focusing on the shifting seasons.

The move into autumn is always a special one. Inviting us to slow down, accept change, and pay attention to the small details we have overlooked in the rush of summer.

It was particularly poignant for me to notice how the horse chestnut has changed from its vibrant, candle-covered foliage of the spring and summer, into a bright sparkle of gold that will quickly be bare branches.

I love autumn for its colours, the way the light looks different and feels cooler, the crunch of leaves and half eaten nuts. And of course all the mushrooms that pop up and remind us that so much work happens right beneath our feet.

Enjoy kicking the leaves, I know I will 🍂💜

This week's wisdom from the woods:

Just because it doesn't look like things are moving forward, doesn't mean they're standing still. You're growing more than you know.

As we enter autumn and the start of mushroom season, I love this potent reminder.

Mycelium spends most, and in some cases all, of its life underground, hidden from view. It keeps the forest nourished and thriving, passing vital nutrients around the species that live there. And then, a mushroom might appear. In its own time, when the conditions are right.

If it doesn't feel like anything is changing right now, if progress feels so slow you wonder if it's happening at all, know that you are moving. It doesn't have to look impressive. It doesn't need to be visible at all. Mycelium doesn't give a crap who can see the work it's doing and neither should you 🌳💜

This week's wisdom from the woods:

Nature loves and accepts you.

Without judgement. Without expectations. Without conditions.

Unshowered, messy hair, no makeup, wearing your comfy pants and dirty trainers.

You're not being compared to anyone else. You don't need to be in a good mood.

You can just be however you are today 🌳💜

On a rainy walk in the Lakes with my friend Esther, we stopped to listen to this wonderful oak tree tell us her story.

She told us of years gone by, when she'd been just a sapling and had grown strong through the rocky ground with the help of the networks beneath her.

That she'd built the foundations that would support her growth, despite the challenges.

Of the many creatures that had made their home in her trunk and branches, and of the others that had simply passed by. They all enriched her life, some in ways they were unaware of.

She told us that turbulent times had shaken her foundations and uprooted her, small threads clinging to life while she tried to rebuild herself.

And then how she'd kept growing. How she'd found the strength and resilience to use what she'd learned, the growth she'd already been through, and her underground community, to reroot and keep going.

I loved this reminder that growth doesn't need to follow a standard path. That feeling uprooted might be scary but isn't the end. That the support you have around you matters.

Thank you mother oak for sharing your beautiful wisdom 🌳💜

Take 1 minute to listen to a waterfall in the rain 💦

I love watching the rain drops hit the leaves too. Absolutely mesmerising 💜

When times are difficult, I find myself leaning into the rest of the natural world even more.

Learning her names and stories, marvelling at her beauty, letting her hold me.

Some recent plants I found. Aren't they pretty? 🌿💜

(In order: reed canary grass, heath spotted orchid, purple cranesbill, sun through hawthorn, sea holly, bird vetch, variegated nettle).

If you want to spend more time connecting with nature, but don't know where to start, these Forest Power Cards are such a great help.

Each card has a beautiful illustration and an invitation. They come with a book which explains how to interpret each invitation, and how long to do it for, And a little cloth bag to put the cards and book in.

I love going into a natural space, pulling a card and focusing on that for however long the book says. If I'm tired it means I don't need to think up a way to consciously connect with the Earth around me, I just follow the instructions.

You could use them in your garden, in the local park, on holiday. They'd be really great for kids as well.

I've started taking them with me everywhere! This week's invitation was to notice the light and shadows, which I did through this beautiful Hawthorn. 🌳💜

Just a little bunch of medicine.

Elderflower is one of my favourite smelling and tasting flowers, but it's also so full of goodness. Great for inflammation, allergies, respiratory health and so much more.

I love foraging for so many reasons, being outside, connecting with nature, but it's learning about her gifts that brings me the most joy.

I've had a slightly difficult relationship with some of my local plants this year, and making elderflower recipes has been challenging. That for me is part of the process though. Learning about plants. Letting them teach us. Letting them humble us.

Next year I will return to this beautiful flower so much wiser about her 💜

Busy times here recently but a couple of weeks ago I attended a wonderful forest bathing session with Georgie at The Wild Revival.

A guided forest bathing experience is one of the most heart opening couple of hours you can give yourself. In a world where doing more and going faster are praised, and rest feels like it needs to be earned, slowing down is the perfect tonic. Breathing with the trees is even better.

Georgie is a fabulous guide and her session was relaxing, insightful and just what my nervous system needed.

Full forest bathing sessions are comprised of a series of meditations and invitations to use your senses to connect with the nature around you in different ways. We felt the forest against our skin, took in its scents and moved around the woodland exploring.

And my favourite invitation, to find a tree that called to us and go and have a chat.

This majestic oak was leaning as much as it looks on the photos. So far in fact I was amazed she was standing and I marvelled at the strength of her roots, the resilience she must have to have weathered so many storms and keep growing.

I sat at the base of her trunk as the rain threatened to soak us both, grateful for her oxygen, her support, her wisdom. I left her two feathers and sung her a song in return.

I left the session feeling a bit emotional and very grounded. I never fail to feel better after a forest bath and I learn something during every session 🌳💜
